| Monster Magnet – Space Lord Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| I've read some really great theories. All of them could be viable. However, I like to think of one specific being when this song is playing. Considering the mythos surrounding this creature, the lyrics match almost perfectly. This song is about Cthulhu. Cthulhu is a super-giant alien god that fell to Earth with his brothers. The mythos goes on to state that Cthulhu and his brothers made humans into their slaves. Eventually, the humans revolted and locked Cthulhu in a giant vault in the ancient city of Ry'leh. A natural disaster sank the ancient city into the ocean, so now Great Cthulhu, in his ancient tomb in Ry'leh, waits... dreaming. According to prophecy, Cthulhu and his brothers (AKA The Great Old Ones) will rise with a certain alignment of the stars to once again rule the Earth. They will eat all humans, including their followers, The Cthulhu Cult. The cult will be saved for last and will be eaten as part of a ritual that will send them to Cthulhu's planet where they will be greeted with a paradise where all feelings of pleasure and pain are intensified beyond that of our mortal imaginations. For more information on the Cthulhu Mythos, read the stories by H.P. Lovecraft. They're insanely delightful. The fear he strikes into the readers' minds when describing the Great Beast is unrivaled by any other horror writer. | |
